Definitions

  • This invention relates to a blow-molded container and, in particular, to a container having a small blow ratio and molded by a direct blow molding process.
  • This invention also relates to a mold for use in blow molding, and in particular, to a mold for use in blow molding in which flash development is controllable at the bottom pinch-off portion of the containers, such as bottles.
  • an extruder 121 is used in an ordinary direct blow molding process to extrude parison P, which is a molten resin in a cylindrical shape.
  • This parison P is then put between separated two halves of a split mold 101 to be used in blow molding, and is pinched in the mold clamping process.
  • a pair of pinch-off blades is disposed at the bottom pinch-off section 105 of the cavity 102 in the lower portion of the split mold 101 and is used to cut off the parison at its lower end. The cut end of the parison is sealed in situ by thermal welding.
  • a parison cutter 122 cuts the upper portion of the cylindrical molten resin to form a parison P in the bottomed cylindrical shape.
  • an air nozzle is inserted into the parison P from the head above the split mold 101 to blow air into the parison P and to blow-mold it into a molded product.
  • FIG. 6 shows an example of a conventional blow-molded container.
  • FIGS. 7 and 8 show the rear half of a conventional split mold and a conventional mold-clamping and pinch-off process, respectively.
  • the split mold 101 has front and rear halves that have been parted on one plane (mold parting face 111 ).
  • FIG. 8( c ) shows a cross-sectional plan view of the split mold 101 in the closed state.
  • the pinch-off line 114 is formed by the pinch-off blades 106 on the bottom surface 104 of the bottom 103 of the mold cavity 102 , and is also located along the mold parting line 113 , which is formed by the mold parting face 111 .
  • the length of the pinch-off section 105 i.e., the lateral length of the pinch-off blades 106 , is about 1.6 Dp, which is the width of the parison measured when the parison with an outer diameter of 1 Dp is pressed flat.
  • the pinch-off line 14 with a length of about 1.6 Dp is formed on the same line as the mold parting line 13 on the underside surface of the molded container. (See FIG. 6 .)
  • Japanese Application No. 1995-88943 describes a method of increasing the strength of bottom seal of, above all, a laminated container, by forming uneven pushing dents on both sides of the container pinch-off portion.
  • Japanese Application No. 1997-262902 describes a method of controlling bottom seal thickness by disposing a compression plate at a position below the pinch-off section of a molding tool and allowing the compression plate to pinch the resin that runs off from the pinch-off section (hereinafter referred to as flash).
  • a pinch-off line 1.6 Dp in length is usually formed on the underside surface of the container, which is a direct blow-molded product. Because the pinch-off line thus formed does not exceed the periphery of the underside surface in the case of a container having a sufficiently large blow ratio, the containers are utilized in various applications with no problem of outer appearances. However, when the container having a small blow ratio is blow-molded, the container pinch-off portion would have a length close to or equal to the diameter of the bottom surface of the mold cavity. During the pinch-off process, the parison is pressed flat at the bottom of the mold cavity.
  • the parison deforms laterally, or the parison resin flows laterally from the right and left sides of the mold pinch-off section toward the mold parting face located to the right and left.
  • the resin that has run off remains not only on the underside bottom of the container, but also in the vicinity of the mold parting lines on the sidewall of the body right above the bottom.
  • the so-called flash is formed, and the flash lines remain on the container product.
  • the length of the container pinch-off portion can be made smaller than the diameter of the underside surface of the container if the container has a blow ratio close to 2. Even in that case, it happens that, once the parison has been pinched and pressed flat by the mold pinch-off section, the resin may flow from the right and left sides of the pinch-off section laterally along the mold parting face. Such flows of the resin leave flash lines nearby the mold parting lines on the body wall right above the bottom surface of the molded container. Even if there has been no flash line, there still would remain a glossy spot or a color spot, including a drawing spot, an orientation spot, and/or a cooling spot, which are the factors caused by the changes in the resin flow.
  • the available length of the container pinch-off portion is up to the diameter of the mold cavity at the maximum.
  • the pinch-off section can have a length less than 1.6 Dp, which is the width of the parison that has been pressed flat. In that case, the parison is pressed not only at the mold pinch-off section, but also on the mold parting face nearby the pinch-off section.
  • the flash lines inevitably develop in the vicinity of the mold parting lines on both sides of the body right above the bottom.
  • the technical problem of this invention is to inhibit the flash development on the underside bottom surface of the container molded by the direct blow method, especially in the lateral direction from the right and left ends of the mold pinch-off section.
  • An object of this invention is to provide a blow-molded container having a low blow ratio and good appearances with no flash line, glossy spot, and/or color spot on the sidewall of the container near the bottom.
  • Another object of this invention is to create a mold for use in blow molding, which can provide a blow-molded container having a low blow ratio and good appearances with no flash line, glossy spot, and/or color spot on the sidewall of the container near the bottom.
  • a blow-molded container comprises a cylindrical body, a neck disposed in the upper portion of said body, and a bottom disposed in the lower portion of said body, and is obtained by a direct blow molding process utilizing a split mold, which has a mold parting face perpendicular to the mold-clamping direction and splits into front and rear mold halves, and in which a blow ratio in the range of 1 to 3 is set in the direction of mold parting lines formed by said mold parting face in a plan view showing a body portion right above said bottom, wherein a bottom parting line is formed on underside surface of said bottom by a linear pinch-off line, which is formed by pinch-off blades disposed at the pinch-off section of said split mold, a pair of said mold parting lines formed on the right and left sides of a peripheral zone, and a pair of connecting
  • split mold permits flash lines to develop on the underside surface of said bottom but to extend only from the center of the underside bottom surface to said bent corners.
  • a linear pinch-off line is formed in the center of the underside bottom surface of the container by the pinch-off blades disposed at the bottom pinch-off section of the split mold.
  • a pair of the mold parting lines, perpendicular to the mold-clamping direction of the split mold, is formed on the right and left sides of the peripheral zone. Connecting lines are connected to both of the pinch-off line and these mold parting lines, so that a bottom parting line is formed on the underside bottom surface.
  • the all or those portions of said connecting lines that lie adjacent to said pinch-off line are formed by end parting faces located at right and left ends of the pinch-off section of said split mold so that a pair of roughly right-angled bent corners is formed by all or those adjacent portions of said connecting lines and said pinch-off line.
  • Such a container is blow-molded in a split mold in which the portion of the mold under the bottom surface comprises at least mold parting faces, the mold pinch-off section, and the end parting faces located at both ends of the pinch-off section and roughly perpendicular to the lateral direction of the pinch-off section, all of which are exposed by the splitting of the mold into the front and rear halves.
  • the end parting faces carry out a function of controlling lateral deformation from the right and left ends of the pinch-off section during the change in parison from a cylindrical shape to a flat shape at the pinch-off section.
  • the end parting faces have also another function as the barrier faces to stop the flow of resin in the lateral direction, which is caused by the pinch-off blades that push the flattened resin. Thus, these end parting faces prevent excessive parison deformation and resin flow over the mold parting faces.
  • a blow-molded container which has no flash line, glossy spot, or color spot in the vicinity of the mold parting lines on the body wall right above the bottom.
  • any conventional blow-molded container would never have the problem of appearances and that the effect of this invention would become obscure, as long as the container has a blow ratio larger than 3, as measured in the direction of mold parting lines that are formed by the mold parting faces right above the bottom of the body.
  • the parison In the case of a container having a blow ratio less than 1, it would be difficult for the parison to be pinched stably by the split mold.
  • the means of carrying out another embodiment exists in the configuration that a blow ratio larger than 1.6 is set.
  • the cylindrical parison turns to a flat folded shape at the mold pinch-off section, and the flattened parison is further pressed and cut by the pinch-off blades. Since the resin can be prevented from flowing in the lateral direction from both ends of the mold pinch-off section even though the flow is caused by the pinch-off blades that push the flattened resin, the flash can be restricted so as not to exceed the bent corners.
  • the means of carrying out another embodiment exists in the configuration that a blow ratio of 1.6 or less is set.
  • the means of carrying out another embodiment exists in the configuration that the bent corners have a step height or facial width at least nearly twice as much as the wall thickness of the parison (P) to be used for blow molding.
  • the cylindrical parison is flattened first at the mold pinch-off section into a state in which the parison is pressed flat. At that time, the total thickness of the flat parison is nearly twice as much as the wall thickness of the parison. Then, the flattened parison is further pressed and cut by the pinch-off blades. Therefore, when the step height of the bent corners or the width of the end parting faces is set at a length equivalent to at least nearly twice as much as the parison wall thickness, it is possible to inhibit the resin flow in the lateral direction from the right and left ends of the mold pinch-off section even though the flow is caused by the pinch-off blades that push the flattened resin. Thus, the flash can be restricted so as not to exceed the bent corners.
  • the step height or the facial width is set at a relatively high level because it is necessary to set the length of the container pinch-off portion at about 1.6 Dp or less and to control the lateral deformation of the parison.
  • this step height or the facial width can be determined in response to the container shape, the blow ratio to be used, the parison diameter and thickness, etc.
  • the means of carrying out another embodiment exists in the configuration that the pinch-off line passing the center of the underside surface of the container bottom is disposed so as to form a given central angle with the direction of the mold parting lines, wherein the connecting lines are formed by connecting almost linearly the right and left ends of the pinch-off line to the inner ends of the respective right and left mold parting lines, and wherein the bottom parting line is formed almost axisymmetrically around the center of the underside bottom surface.
  • the pinch-off line is formed by angling the line from the direction of the mold parting lines. Because of this gradient, there occurs a pair of steps, as seen in the bottom plan view, between the right and left ends of the pinch-off line and the inner ends of the right and left mold parting lines. A pair of connecting lines is used to connect between the respective ends to form the bent corners. It is possible to control the step height of the bent corners or the width of the end parting faces by this gradient or the central angle.
  • the above-described configuration enables the bottom parting line to be formed in a simple design.
  • the parting faces in the portion under the bottom surface of the mold cavity can be formed in a simple shape. It becomes possible for the pinch-off line to be formed along the entire diameter of the underside bottom surface.
  • a container with a lower blow ratio than usual can be provided easily.
  • the means of carrying out another embodiment exists in the configuration that the central angle is set at 45 degrees or less.
  • the upper limit to the central angle is set under the above configuration. If the central angle is too large or if the pinch-off line is too much inclined from the direction of the mold parting lines, the parison has to be pressed flat on a large slope during the pinch-off process of the blow molding operation. Because under such a condition, the pinch-off operation cannot be fulfilled smoothly, preferably a central angle of 45 degrees or less is used.
